Workflow output to provide unique entries each run & End-of-day count with total runs

EmilDem01
8 - Asteroid

We execute the workflow three times: at 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 5:00 PM.
1) Each run's output must include new HeadOffice IDs OR Purchase Order IDs.
2) The end-of-day workflow should reflect a count of unique IDs for the entire day, ensuring no duplicates.

This is one possible solution:

 

1. Store the output from each run in a single folder as separate workbooks. You can append a timestamp to the filename to keep them separate

2. Your end of day workflow should start with a directory tool pointed to your folder

3. Use a filter to eliminate files from previous days

4. Use a dynamic input to read in data from all relevant files

5. Use a unique tools to eliminate duplicate rows

6. Output your expected output.
